Please do contact your AG office!! This company really needs to be stopped!! Those TV Ad's are bogus!! They will NEVER be on air, because yeah you may have purchased a commercial yet you still have to purchase airtime slot with the TV companies!! The leads that they use are worthless!! They are recycled numbers that they use!! They don't follow the "Do Not Call List" They use bogus alias's so that way no one can get a hold of them anymore!! It's a scam and they really need to stop!! I'm working on trying to get my $!! I don't see why these people haven't been shut down by the Feds!! Oh yeah because they keep changing names!!
I'm glad I bothered to look this up., I was contacted by a Leonard, who played a recorded spiel for me, then passed me off to a second party, who in turn transferred me to a third man, John, I think because I was resisting the impulse. He had platinum, gold, silver and scholarship level programs, for $495, $395, $295, and $195 respectively, for terminal commissions of $500, $350, $250 and $150. These levels all included the web site and the id. When I said I had cash flow issues and would not make a decision today and needed to do some checking on a company I had not heard from before, John asked if he could call back another time- I said Friday, but I'll be surprised If I actually get the call. John said he was calling from Arizona and gave me a phone no. 480 593 8803. He actually used an example of a retiree in a wheelchair as an 'affiliate' making $1500/mo. The company name given by Leonard was BDE, and John used Fidelity Merchant Solutions. I hope no one else gives these folks their hard-earned savings or , ironicaly, uses a credit card to pay for for it.
I have been scammed by this operation. Since the middle of May I've spent $495 for leads for Fidelity Merchant Solutions, $8000.00 for a TV ad campaign from Aggressive Advertising and $7500.00 from Matrix Marketing Corp. for Web enhancement. I called 480-323-9934 and got Ed Burns with a useless run around story about how he needs to get back to the office. I have other phone numbers where I get a so called costumer service person who tells me my campaign has started. There are some names I have like Shawn Green, John Ryan, David Clark, Cortez, Jeff McCoy, James Bell. Here are the numbers 888-807-7740, 866-395-4677, 888-254-3381, 888-429-8480. I'm in Pennsylvania. I will contact the AG.
Just to update, I got a call today from 520-314-1111 that goes by the name My Choice Business Services. Same modus operandi. Got switched between 3 different people during the call, ended up with Chris. Pressure to pay $495 immediately to be the only licenced affiliate in my local area (they provide me with the affiliate ID). I provide the contact info for small to mid-sized businesses, they call the business and close the sale. I get $500 for each credit card processing machine they sell plus 1% of all transactions they process. I can track all the leads I send them plus sales & commissions on their website. They claim the merchant pays them 2% per transaction which is less than the 6% that competition charges. That threw up red flags for me as I would be making 50% while putting in much less effort than they would have to do if they were a legitimate company.
Thanks to all who have posted here - you confirmed my suspicions and saved me a lot of wasted time & money.
